Hey girl,
Don't be stressed up!
Must relax.
I do understand the challenge of juggling work, family and pregnancy, that's why I made the decision to quit when I preggie.
To me, money and career is secondary, family and children more important, moreover, fertility is not permanent, our biological clock is tickling mercilessly.I ve been trying for years to have this bb, so can't take chance since previously I had 3 m/c as I was too committed to work.
The company won't remember and thank me for what I did for them, not worth 为公司卖命！
So I quited my job for the above reason.
Thanks Gingerella for sharing the videos! 
any mummies hv confinement tips to share??
personally, for my first confinement, I ignored old wife's tale and bathed, washed hair regularly, stepped on water or wet floor in toilet, washed hands with cold or room temp. water, sometimes cold water as tub of water for rinsing milk bottle turns cold from air con, air con in day and night - then I had very bad pain on my wrists till I can't write, pins poking pain in my feet after my confinement. that's when my mum scolded me for not listening to her.
it continued for good even after months after months...
then subsequent pregnancy, I still and bathe (as I can't tahan not washing up at all ) though I do that every few days instead with Chinese herbs or ginger water, wore slippers in toilet, my wrists pain improved, almost fully recovered - so there is some truth in old wife's tales.. though I must wash my hands, wipe myself a few times a day, bathe and wash hair every few days. can't go all the way!!!
but I heard neighbors and distant relatives who completely never bathe and touch water ( I wonder how? what about cleaning the wounds from cut stitches etc?) their health strengthen tremendously, no more pains, less sick etc after their strict confinement! but I doubt I'll ever be able to reach that "standard". hahaha but wonder how come Caucasians have no such ::wong7:

During my confinement, i still bath and wash hair everyday, very hard not to. Even the video also say that it is ok. I bathed with the herbal packs, hubby will boil the water, pour into the pail, then add in some warm water from the shower hose (in laws told me try not to bath with the water direct from the pipes). Bathed in the masterbedroom (did confinement at parents' place), so before I went to shower, close all the windows and doors, to make sure no wind come in.
After bath, must dry every part properly, and blow dry hair immediately before I come out of the room. In laws even prepared slippers for me to walk around the house so that it wouldn't come into contact with the cold floor. But I still wash my hands from direct tapwater. I guess just have to make sure that it's properly dried. I was told that if got wind its ok, but must avoid if it's raining and windy. Air con is fine, but no fan.
I think if you really want to be strict, you probably can compromise by wiping yourself down with the herbal water instead, make sure no wind to enter the room, and dry yourself properly. It's hard not to clean ourselves with breast feeding and cleaning our wounds.

Hey
I don't know the answer but if the doc never say anything, I guess it's ok as long as bb has put on some weight and growing.
So pls don't worry.
Just relax and soon your bb will be due!
Take care!

don so paranoid... relax okay....paranoid again .. i keep feeling like i want to ls.. but nothing come out..
yah lor .. im telling myself maybe i didnt eat the right food.
tummy lately been feeling numb and hard more often too
cant help but worry a bit
to me cleanliness is impt .. sg is not cooling like china (i guess that's where those pantangs come from). we're very warm and humid here. so we must at least keep clean! if not how to feed and carry baby! lol
probably just BH? Sometimes I get that feeling too...anyway they say we'll be getting watery stools also....when nearing our labourparanoid again .. i keep feeling like i want to ls.. but nothing come out..
